“If you think health care is expensive now, wait until you see what it costs when it's free.”

“Now I know that if you wait until you think you are ready, you'll wait your whole life”

“We will restore science to its rightful place and wield technology's wonders to raise health care's quality and lower its cost.”

“The point of reptition is that there is no point. Wait until it soaks into the hardware and then see the way this frees up your head. A whole shitload of head-space you don't need for the mechanics anymore, after they've sunk in. Now the mechanics are wred in. Hardwired in. This frees the head in the remarkablest ways. Just wait. You start thinking a whole different way now, playing. The court might as well be inside you. The ball stops being a ball. The ball starts being something that you just know /ought/ to be in the air, spinning.”

“In any case, seeing care for certain groups as an excessive cost reflects an arguably perverse way of thinking about health care in terms of human need. [...] In other words, care for the sick is an economic burden only in health care systems where profit is the bottom line and public services are underfunded and politically unsupported - that is, systems in which only market logic is considered legitimate.”

“Sometimes when you see the line, you think it's a good idea to cross it--until you do.”
